Mastic sealing for businesses in Forty Hill
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.
How we handle mastic sealing in Forty Hill
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. We work on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are complaints coming in block by block and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Forty Hill from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For managing agents in Forty Hill, resident access, notice periods and the building’s rules shape the job. Work is planned with the agent so residents get notice and access is arranged in advance.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Quoting for work in Forty Hill
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
For managing agents and facilities managers
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Planning a London job such as one in Forty Hill starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Questions about Forty Hill
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Turkey Street station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
